MUSCLE BUILDING

by Steve Holman and Jonathan Lawson

Beyond X-Rep Muscle Building was written to help you get

closer to your physical potential with sensible bodybuilding

strategies. Weight training is a demanding activity, however, so

it is highly recommended that you consult your physician and

have a physical examination prior to beginning a weight-

training program. Proceed with the suggested diets, exercises

and routines at your own risk.

Introduction

The Ultimate Mass Workout e-book showcased our gains with

X Reps and explained that mass-building technique in detail. It

essentially kick -start ed the X -Rep muscle-bu ilding

phenomenon—and the gains of muscle-building enthusiasts all

over the world. Our results with X Reps showed that, if used

correctly, it has the power to transform a physique in as few as

35 days. Trainees have re p o rted incredible gains in size and

s t rength in only a few workouts due to finally being able to

overcome the nervous system roadblock during any set to failure

( i t ’s usually the nervous system that craps out first, not the

muscle). Power partials at the sweet spot along an exerc i s e ’s

stroke at the end of a set to exhaustion obliterate that roadblock,

allowing you to trigger new hypert rophic stimulation like never

before—so much so that many trainees said that X Reps are the

last word on building massive muscles. But are they?

Our latest re s e a rch and experiments (or should we say X-

periments?) confirm the power of X Reps, but as any seasoned

bodybuilder knows, nothing works forever. You have to find ways

to jack up the intensity if you want X-traordinary growth.

So after more analysis and research we created new ways to

X-ponentially increase the intensity of the X-Rep technique. The

best of the best of those X-Rep hybrid techniques helped us

pack on nearly 10 more pounds of new muscle to our alre a d y

developed physiques (which is even more amazing when you

consider that Steve is now 46 years old!). These techniques can

do the same for you—take

your mass to the next level

at a rate that will astound

you.

Consider yourself in the

fast lane to X-treme muscle.

Are you ready? Let’s put the

pedal to the metal!
